struct DDS_SampleIdentity_t DDS_FilterSampleInfo::related_sample_identity

The identity of another sample related to this one.

The value of this field identifies another sample that is logically related to the one that is written. For example, the DDSDataWriter created by a Replier uses this field to associate the identity of the request sample with a reponse sample.

To specify that there is no related sample identity, use the value DDS_UNKNOWN_SAMPLE_IDENTITY.

A DDSDataReader can inspect the related sample identity of a received sample by accessing the fields DDS_SampleInfo::related_original_publication_virtual_guid and DDS_SampleInfo::related_original_publication_virtual_sequence_number.
